3 0

Answer:

Lactose is found in animal milk is lactase is the enzyme that is required to digest it.

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide made of glucose and galactose units. This sugar is naturally present in animal milk and it is digested (broken in its units) by the lactase enzyme.

Some people are lactose intolerant because their bodies is not able to produce the enzyme. If they ingest dairy products it may cause health issues. Nowadays it is possible to purchase the lactase enzyme and ingest it with a dairy food to avoid any health effects.

Calculate the percent of lead in Pb (Co3)2
velikii [3]
We will take that molar mass of Pb(CO3)2 represents the total mass of all particles in this compound, ie it has value 100%.

M(Pb(CO3)2) = Ar(Pb) + 2xAr(C) + 6xAr(O) = 207.2 + 2x12 + 6x16= 327.2 g/mol

M(Pb) = 207.2 g/mol

From the date above we can set the following ratio:

M(Pb(CO3)2) : M(Pb) = 100% : x

327.2 : 207.2 = 100 :x

x = 63.33% of Pb there is in <span>Pb(Co3)2</span>

Which statement about atmospheric pressure is false?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.

Explanation:

Generally when altitude increases, the value of pressure decreases. This shows that pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. For example, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and vice versa. At very high altitude, the number of molecules of air are smaller than the number of moles of air at very low altitude. Thus, the higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure and the lower the altitude, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option (D) is false.
